Unless the person that constructed it wasn't very good at constructing Bob! I'm still at a loss to guess why this book exists. What was wrong with the original interior of the cover that was removed and used here on this book, and what was wrong with the original cover of the interior that was used? Someone ripped their cover, said drat, and went out and bought another copy with a great cover that had a faulty interior. Am I making any sense? The other alternative - CGC got it wrong, and it's not married. Just in the early stages of courting or something

@Ken Aldred Here's a good comparison Paul. Spidey looks believable here - I can feel he's freezing. I can feel the desolation. He's really well drawn and looks 'right'. The artist is confident enough not to have a big distracting signature in play. What do you think? Who has displayed the greater talent / artistic flair here? Who's picture tells the story most completely? If you take all the titles and barcodes away, which image would look best framed on your wall? If you tried to replicate them yourself, which do you think you would find easier to match?

And assuming she's running forward, with forward momentum, why is her hair and cloak in front of her, not behind her? Is she in a hurricane? Or is it the blow back from the massive art fart that the Byrne name has created? Apart from all that, it aint bad.

Seriously Paul, the 'SNOWBLIND' wording kills it for me. Apart from totally overpowering the image, it's like it's trying to justify what's going on, i.e. 'it's a snow story everyone, that's why it's an all white cover'. The picture tells the story, the wording isn't necessary. Also, the actual art is so 'flimsy' looking to me. If it was superbly detailed it might work. But it looks like a 25 second sketch. The hair - terrible! The neck - borrowed from a giraffe! The arm - where's the top half of it? Is her forearm growing out of her chest or something? For such a small effort, surely you would want the art to be of the very highest standard. And anatomically reasonable too. Sorry Paul - I think it's horrible. I get what he was going for, but the execution is poor. I find Byrne to be such a lazy artist. In the right hands, small strokes, well placed, can make a great image. Here, small strokes are just that - small strokes that create an unsatisfactory whole. I've yet to see the work that makes me appreciate why others laud him. So, horrible. In that sense, given the thread title, thanks for posting it!

Now look, I like this next cover. But for all the wrong reasons: I like that everyone appears to be living in a model village: ...and that no one knows where to look. Not sure how these two can see much given where they're standing: I'm not even going to mention the gorilla, or speculate on his motivations. But look, this must be the Kid's final defeat because, look, he's lost his hat and everything: And what's with the weirdy eye?: Oh, sorry. Wrong book. I do like it though Carter! That's my name!
